I don't really think your home directory is limited but for changing permissions you should consider using Terminal.app. I know, I know. Apple doesn't really like that.
<http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24068> seems to say that with File Vault you are always talking to a disk image that was likely established with a maximum size. The files there are encrypted and you really need to, at least temporarily, move them to storage after they are decripted. You should be able, perhaps as an administrator, to store the entire directory somewhere outside of your home. Another disk, another partition, another user's home directory. . . The instructions in the like are certainly not clear, sigh. Your real home directory is not limited. It's just the file vault part. If you really think it's a permissions problem the shell command is chmod It can be used with the -R option to operate on every directory and every file below the place where you start. recursively entering all directories. On an encrypted file vault I'd consider it dangerous unless you have a good backup. man chmod will tell all. but it can be a bit confusing. A two step process can work. There's probably a way to make it work in one pass but I donno it. cd $HOME # change to your home directory chmod -R 666 * # Change everything, including directories, to read and write for everyone. chmod -R +X * # Reset the execute bits for the directories that you turned off with the first command. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
